Easy Chew Apple "Crisp"
Fall is here, and although the Florida weather has taken another turn for warm and humid, I've been hankering for some apples. I cooked up this recipe today, trying to minimize sugar, fats, and chewing. If chewing hurts, you may want to avoid this recipe. It's possible that you could pulverize the sauteed apples in a blender to get them to a no-chew consistency.
3 cups finely diced red delicious apples
1 tablespoon Smart Balance light buttery spread
Pinch of stevia (or sugar) and a pinch of cinnamon

 |
1/4 cup ground walnuts
3 tablespoons brown sugar or sugar in the raw
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon water
Peel and dice apples into small pieces as shown (top left photo).
Saute them in buttery spread for five to seven minutes over medium heat. Stir as they cook. I sprinkled mine with a dash of cinnamon and stevia for extra flavor. When they have been cooked until they are soft, place the apples in a one-quart casserole dish (bottom right photo).
In a separate container, mix finely ground walnuts (I chopped mine in my Shake 'N Take), flour, brown sugar (or Sugar in the Raw), and 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon. Toss the mixture evenly onto the apples. Sprinkle with the tablespoon of water.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Serves three.
This would be great topped with whipped cream, but I can't afford the calories. For more recipes (easy or no-chew) please use the Google search on my main blog page.
